“…In 2018, LACDMH undertook a campaign to increase community engagement (i.e., interest and activism) around removing barriers to mental health care access, promote awareness of county mental health resources and services, and communicate messages of resilience, community, hope, and support. Around the globe (Gaebel, Rössler, and Sartorius, 2016), in California (Collins, Wong, Roth, et al, 2015), and in Los Angeles County (Collins, Eberhart, Marcellino, et al, 2018), social marketing campaigns have been effective in shifting attitudes related to mental health, increasing social acceptance of those experiencing mental health challenges, and increasing awareness and use of mental health services (Collins, Eberhart, Marcellino, et al, 2018;Collins, Wong, Breslau, et al, 2019;Collins, Eberhart, Seelam, et al, 2020;Collins, Eberhart, Shearer, et al, 2021).…”
